Barack Obama Finds the Ultimate Teleprompter with Google Glass

Barack Obama Finds the Ultimate Teleprompter with Google Glass

For a President who can barely form a coherent sentence without looking at a teleprompter, the Google Glass must be a dream come true.

Hurricane Sandy Is Barack Obama's Fault

Barack Obama Hopeless Poster

Within two days of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, people were overwhelmingly blaming George W. Bush for the catastrophe. When are people going to start blaming Barack Obama for the Hurricane Sandy catastrophe? It seems fair, doesn't it?

Full Transcript of Benghazi, Libya Embassy Terrorist Attack Remarks from Obama

Below is the transcript of Barack Obama's September 12, 2012 Rose Garden remarks about the embassy attack in Benghazi, Libya. Even though Obama does use the word terror toward the end of the statement. The overall speech was clearly referring to the Innocence of the Muslims trailer as the cause of the attack. This is evidenced by the following passage: "Since our founding, the United States has been a nation that respects all faiths. We reject all efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. But there is absolutely no justification to this type of senseless violence."

In the second presidential debate on October 16, 2012, Mitt Romney clearly did not realize Obama used the word terror in the Rose Garden address. Obama, with the surprising assistance of CNN's Candy Crowley (who was supposed to be the neutral moderator of the debate), is being dishonest by trying to pretend that he classified the attack an act of terror, when he was--at that time--actively promoting the idea that the Benghazi attack was caused by regular citizens angry over a video.

In fact, in the Rose Garden statement, Obama never specifically called the Benghazi embassy attack and act of terror. Obama's one reference to terror was a general statement about any acts of terror: "No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation." In this context, Obama's statement could refer to any and all acts of terror. The closest Obama gets to calling the Benghazi attack an act of terror in the Rose Garden remarks is by using the phrase, "this terrible act."

Here is the transcript of the remarks so you can draw your own conclusions as to what Barack Obama was really conveying to the American people.

Remarks by the President on the Deaths of U.S. Embassy Staff in Libya

Rose Garden

September 12, 2012

THE PRESIDENT: Good morning. Every day, all across the world, American diplomats and civilians work tirelessly to advance the interests and values of our nation. Often, they are away from their fis absolutely no justification to this type of senseless violence. None. The world must stand together to unequivocally reject these brutal acts.

Already, many Libyans have joined us in doing so, and this attack will not break the bonds between the United States and Libya. Libyan security personnel fought back against the attackers alongside Americans. Libyans helped some of our diplomats find safety, and they carried Ambassador Stevens’s body to the hospital, where we tragically learned that he had died.

It's especially tragic that Chris Stevens died in Benghazi because it is a city that he helped to save. At the height of the Libyan revolution, Chris led our diplomatic post in Benghazi. With characteristic skill, courage, and resolve, he built partnerships with Libyan revolutionaries, and helped them as they planned to build a new Libya. When the Qaddafi regime came to an end, Chris was there to serve as our ambassador to the new Libya, and he worked tirelessly to support this young democracy, and I think both Secretary Clinton and I relied deeply on his knowledge of the situation on the ground there. He was a role model to all who worked with him and to the young diplomats who aspire to walk in his footsteps.

Along with his colleagues, Chris died in a country that is still striving to emerge from the recent experience of war. Today, the loss of these four Americans is fresh, but our memories of them linger on. I have no doubt that their legacy will live on through the work that they did far from our shores and in the hearts of those who love them back home.

Of course, yesterday was already a painful day for our nation as we marked the solemn memory of the 9/11 attacks. We mourned with the families who were lost on that day. I visited the graves of troops who made the ultimate sacrifice in Iraq and Afghanistan at the hallowed grounds of Arlington Cemetery, and had the opportunity to say thank you and visit some of our wounded warriors at Walter Reed. And then last night, we learned the news of this attack in Benghazi.

As Americans, let us never, ever forget that our freedom is only sustained because there are people who are willing to fight for it, to stand up for it, and in some cases, lay down their lives for it. Our country is only as strong as the character of our people and the service of those both civilian and military who represent us around the globe.

No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character, or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for. Today we mourn four more Americans who represent the very best of the United States of America. We will not waver in our commitment to see that justice is done for this terrible act. And make no mistake, justice will be done.

But we also know that the lives these Americans led stand in stark contrast to those of their attackers. These four Americans stood up for freedom and human dignity. They should give every American great pride in the country that they served, and the hope that our flag represents to people around the globe who also yearn to live in freedom and with dignity.

We grieve with their families, but let us carry on their memory, and let us continue their work of seeking a stronger America and a better world for all of our children.

Thank you. May God bless the memory of those we lost and may God bless the United States of America.

Obama Using ATF to Pass Gun Control Under the Radar

Barack Obama Giving the Finger

When Barack Obama told Sarah Brady he was pursuing gun control "under the radar," people began to wonder exactly what he meant. Now, we have a specific example of how a President can abuse his power, overstep his authority, and circumvent the system to enact his own special gun laws.

Under the Obama administration, the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives, commonly known as the ATF, has unilaterally passed a new rule that requires firearms dealers in Arizona, California, New Mexico, and Texas to report to the ATF sales to an individual of multiple semiautomatic rifles, greater than .22 caliber, with detachable magazines during any five-day period. The stated purpose of this new law is to limit the flow of firearms from the Untied States to Mexico.

This new rule essentially amounts to a new federal gun-control law; however, it was passed without a single vote in Congress. Barack Obama knew he could never get this sort of gun-control law through both houses of Congress, so he just created the law through executive authority and got in through the backdoor.

One of the most problematic features of this new gun law is that is does not apply equally to all states. American citizens who live in Arizona, California, New Mexico, and Texas are now subject to more federal gun restrictions than those citizens in other states. Since the federal government cannot impose federal laws on specific groups of people, this law is unconstitutional.

We may not have to spend a lot of time worrying about the uneven application of this law on the southern border states, however. If the ATF gets away with this law, they are bound to expand it to more states. Eventually, the Obama administration will argue the law was so effective in curbing illegal gun sales in Arizona, California, New Mexico, and Texas that the gun smugglers have started using buyers in states like Colorado, Nevada, Oklahoma, Utah, etc. Then the ATF will expand the law to other states. Eventually, the law will probably apply to Alaska too. Do not be surprised if Barack Obama and the ATF start claiming people are buying guns in Alaska, putting them on boats, and sailing them down the Pacific coast to Mexico.

A ridiculous part of this new rule is the "greater than .22 caliber" clause. Nearly all firearms, except .22s themselves, are greater than .22 caliber. The ATF probably threw in this clause to give the illusion the ATF is concerned only with high-powered rifles. In reality, this law going after just about any rifle caliber. For example, the ATF has always been very aggressive about targeting, AR-15s, the civilian version of the M16. Standard AR-15s fire .223 (similar to 5.56 NATO). Even though the .223 round is only moderately powerful, when compared to most rifle rounds, the ATF probably set the power threshold so low for this law so they could include AR-15s.

Also note that the ATF is specifically mentioning "detachable magazines" and "semiautomatic" rifles in the rule. This is just code for "assault weapons." The ATF simply does not like people have assault weapons, and those are the first weapons they would abolish if given the chance. That is what they are pursuing with this rule. This rule is what will set the stage for eventually placing stricter controls on the types of guns the ATF does not like.

The most egregious element to all of this ATF reporting business is the hypocrisy. The Obama administration is claiming that too many firearms are ending up in Mexico, but the ATF's "Fast and Furious" program was deliberately allowing actual working firearms to be transferred to Mexican gangs. Obama and the ATF are out panicking everyone about how many US weapons are ending up in the hands of gangs in Mexico when our government was just caught intentionally allowing--and even encouraging--those weapons to flow into Mexico as part of a organized effort. You just can't make this stuff up.

Barack Obama Pursuing Gun Control under the Radar

Prominent gun control activist, Sarah Brady said that, in a meeting, Barack Obama assured her that gun control is very much on his agenda. Regarding gun control, Sarah Brady recalls that Barack Obama said, "I just want you to know that we are working on it." and "We have to go through a few processes but under the radar."

Do we really want a President who fiddles with the Bill of Rights? More seriously, do we want a President who feels the need to fiddle the Bill of Rights "under the radar"?

Obama Exploits Tucson Deaths for Political Pep Rally

On January 12, 2010, Barack Obama committed the most disgusting (known) act of his presidency so far. During a memorial service for the innocent people killed by left-wing occultist, Jared Loughner, Barack Obama gave what sounded like a subdued campaign speech. Rather than honor the victims and their families, Obama chose to shift much of the focus to himself.

During the oddly branded event, "Together We Thrive: Tucson & America," Obama mentioned himself and his feelings far too often, pandered to the crowd, and blamed political critics for the deaths. He managed to appear very creepy with a stunning lack of emotion and heart. His numerous pauses for applause showed a tremendous amount of arrogance.

What was with the applause, anyway? Didn't these classless morons in the audience know it is almost never appropriate to clap at a memorial service? Maybe they were excited by all of the Democrat blue ""Together We Thrive" T-shirts they got for free. Memorials are for the victims and their families only. These situations should never be used for self-promotion and political posturing. The whole display was simply disgusting.

Prediction for Obama's 2010 Election Loss Response: Bush's Fault

At this point, most have conceded that Democrats are set for some serious loses in the November 2010 election. Only the insane are expecting Democrats to maintain a majority in the House of Representatives, and the sane are starting to worry that Republicans could actually gain enough Senate seats to take a narrow majority in the Senate.

No one is quite sure what will happen when the dust settles after Election Day. This is not a typical election. The conservatives are freaking out after a year and a half of being dragged into the greedy red maw of socialism. Liberals are disillusioned because the messiah they anointed has made only halfhearted attempts to deliver on the utopian promises he made to them. Even worse, the moderate Democrats are in panic mode, because they have been sucked into Obama's policies of spending and government expansion that are becoming intensely unpopular with enormous percentages of the population. Depending on how one read the polls, one could assume 40-55% of the voters are furious with the current state of affairs in America. A far greater percentage of Americans (maybe as high as 75%) are specifically angry at Congress.

No one can possibly know what is going to happen in this most unusual election year, but one thing is certain: Obama promised change, and change is coming. Unfortunately for Obama, that change is not going to be the change for which he had audaciously hoped. We may see some staggering losses in the House and some shocking shifts in the Senate.

The day after Election 2010, the press will begin to analyze the results. They will ask who is to blame for the loses, and there will be many explanations offered. The first defense will be that Election 2010 was all about anti-incumbent sentiment. That will be true to a degree. Several high-profile, career politicians have already been disowned by voters in the Democrat and Republican parties and replaced with fresh faces from beyond the realm of the political machine.

The anti-incumbent theory will carry a little water, but not enough. If the Democrats face tremendous losses in November, people are going to realize Election 2010 is primarily a referendum on Barack Obama and those politicians who have supported his policies. Obama is going to have no choice but to answer for the historic loses, and here is where Great Blue Abyss is prepared to make a prediction. Barack Obama will attempt to blame the 2010 loses on the poor economy. Shortly thereafter, Obama will directly or indirectly point the finger at George W. Bush for the bad economy.

Yes, this prediction sounds crazy, but--based on Obama's past behavior--it is very likely to happen. Obama will blame the economy and then remind everyone he inherited that bad economy. So there you have it. When the Democrats lose in November, it will all be the fault of George W. Bush, and it will not matter that the man will have been out of office for nearly two years by that point.

Barack Obama Blames Bush for Scott Brown Win in Massachusetts

Here is what Barack Obama said today in an interview with George Stephanopoulos on ABC.

"Here's my assessment of not just the vote in Massachusetts, but the mood around the country: the same thing that swept Scott Brown into office swept me into office. People are angry and they are frustrated. Not just because of what's happened in the last year or two years, but what's happened over the last eight years."

Apparently, Barack Obama is determined to blame George W. Bush for everything--even losses in the Democratic Party. Bush has been out of power for more than a year. Obama cannot keep blaming Bush for every shortcoming in the Democratic Party and the Obama administration. For Obama to say something so audacious, he either has to have a tremendous lack of respect for the intelligence of the American people, or he simply delusional.

Scott Brown's victory over Martha Coakely in the Massachusetts Senate race is a referendum on the Democratic Party. The voters are mad at Barack Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and every other Democrat in DC who is pushing our nation toward Socialism.

It is simply stunning that a Republican is hopping into Ted Kennedy's seat while it is still warm. Do not let the significance of this event go unnoticed. The voters are furious with the Democrats and their lack of concern for the American people. If the Democrats do not get their act together by the end of this summer, they will be losing hundreds of elections to Scott Brown clones all over the country in November. This victory could be just the first step in a major voter revolt that could change the political landscape for several years or more.

No Jive, Harry Reid Compliments Obama on His Light Skin and Command over Negro Dialect

Just when you think Harry Reid cannot sink any lower, the man puts on a scuba tank and dives right out of his sinking ship. Harry Reid's latest gaffe is probably going to turn out to be his Trent Lott moment. Just as Trent Lott made a bizarre comment in support of Strom Thurmond's policies--a comment that effectively ended Lott's political career--Harry Ried has made a far more ridiculous, insulting, and demeaning comment about Barack Obama. According to Game Change, a book by Mark Halperin and John Heilemann, Harry Reid, speaking in private when Obama was still a senator, described Obama as "light skinned" and "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one."

This statement sheds a lot of light on Harry Reid's racial views. It should be noted that Harry Reid is a Mormon. Even though the Mormons have changed their views, traditionally, Black people were strongly considered to be inferior in the Mormon faith. By Mormon tradition, people with dark skin had been cursed.

Certainly, Harry Reid's religion should not be blamed for his character-exposing comments about Obama. People have long demonstrated the ability to be bigots without the need of any religious justifications. Harry Reid is probably just a typical liberal elitist who looks down on minorities and takes them for granted. If you are a minority, now you know how the Democrat leaders see you.

Artist Behind Obama Joker Image Revealed (Well, Sort Of)

By Firas Alkhateeb

Thanks to Mark Milian of the Los Angeles Times, we now know the artist behind the original image on the, now famous, Barack Obama Joker poster. The creator of the most striking political image of 2009 is Firas Alkhateeb, a 20-year old Chicago student, who created the image by altering a Time magazine cover using Adobe PhotoShop. Oddly enough, the Palestinian American, Alkhateeb clearly appears to not be the same person who created the "Socialism" poster using the same image. That individual who hijacked and altered that image from Flickr is still unknown.

Ironically, Alkhateeb does not seem to care for the Barack Obama Joker poster, and he does not appear to be against socialism. This is evidenced by a quote from Alkhateeb: "It really doesn't make any sense to me at all. To accuse him of being a socialist is really ... immature. First of all, who said being a socialist is evil?"

Also surprising, Alkhateeb appears to lean to the liberal side. He prefers Dennis Kucinich to the other prominent politicians. He does not seem to care much for Obama and says, "In terms of domestic policy, I don't think he's really doing much good for the country right now. We don't have to 'hero worship' the guy."

This is a surprising turn. Most of us were probably thinking the Obama poster was the work of Republicans or some crazy underground artist. It turns out the creator is just some student who shared his doodles online. The true poster bandit still appears to be at-large and enjoying his anonymity. One wonders if we will ever know the true identity of the person who made Alkhateeb's art famous.

Barack Obama Wants to Know What You Do on the Internet

In an article titled "U.S. Web-Tracking Plan Stirs Privacy Fears," Spencer S. Hsu and Cecilia Kang of the Washington Post are reporting that the Obama administration is seeking to reduce the Web privacy rules that apply to the Federal government.

Currently, the Federal government is largely banned from collecting data on visitors to its Web sites; however, the Obama administration wants to relax these rules. The excuse for reducing your privacy protections is that the government wants to bring more transparency to government. This claims is ridiculous. Obama's people want to reduce your privacy rights on the Web, because they want to make it easier for them to spy on you. For some reason, Chairman Obama's administration wants to know what sites you visit and how often. You should be deeply concerned about why the Executive Branch wants this information and what they intend to do with it.

Just imagine if you were doing a report on firearms for your job or a class. What if you spent an hour or so browsing Web sites that sell firearm-related products and then visited the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms. The BATF would be able to access your cookies and flag you as someone who has a particular interest in guns. What if you happened to be working on a paper that specifically covers weapons used by terrorists. Who knows what could happen? You might get flagged as a security threat and wind up on a watch list.

Your private life is about to get less private.

Obama Administration Resorts to Unhealthy Tactics to Chill Socialized Medicine Debate

In a 6:55AM post on August 4, 2009, Macon Philips, The White House Director of New Media, used the official White House Blog to ask people to rat out their fellow US citizens who are disseminating unfavorable information about Obama's plans for socialized medicine. The post, titled "Facts Are Stubborn Things," urges people who receive or see negative information about Obama's government-run health care initiative that seems "fishy" to report this information directly to the White House by forwarding the critical material to flag@whitehouse.gov.

This means that your tax dollars are being used to monitor and review the way you and other private citizens choose to use the right of free speech. What do you suppose the White House plans to do with the information they collect? Why did they use "flag" in the email address? What happens if you are "flagged" by the White House? Will they investigate those who are speaking out against socialized medicine? Will Obama call them in for questioning? Will Obama order the dissenters be put on some sort of a watch list?

This is a tactic that was used in the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany. Since the government cannot possibly keep tabs on everything said by every dissenter, they employ private citizens to spy on their neighbors. This is a creepy and disturbing move by the White House. Have we learned nothing from history? Perhaps, Chairman Obama has learned plenty.

Posters Portray Barack Obama As Joker of Socialism

Posters portraying Barack Obama as Heath Ledger's Joker character from The Dark Knight have recently be seen in the Los Angeles and Atlanta areas. The posters show Barack Obama in makeup closely resembling that of Batman's greatest enemy and include the word socialism. No one has taken credit for the posters

How come nobody got upset when Drew Friedman gave George W. Bush a similar Joker makeover in "No Joke" published by Vanity Fair on July 28, 2008? Perhaps, the addition of the word socialism is what is really upsetting Obama supporters.

Barack Obama Acting Stupidly on Cambridge Police Racial Controversy

On July 16, 2009, Sgt. James Crowley of the Cambridge Police Department arrested scholar Henry Lewis Gates, Jr. for disorderly conduct. The conflict began when Sgt. Crowley arrived at the home of Henry Gates to investigate a reported break-in at the residence.

Gates, a Black man, overacted to the appearance of the police and began playing the race card, suggesting the police investigation was racially motivated. After being argumentative and rude, Gates provided a Harvard ID that proved he belonged in his own home. Gates then proceeded to express his anger at Crowley for questioning him. Gates was shouting and ranting, and that must have been enough to offend Sgt. Crowley, because he made the incredibly stupid decision to arrest Gates, on his own property, for disorderly conduct.

Sgt. Crowley should have just walked away the moment he realized Gates belonged in the house, but he chose to prove a point and arrest Gates. Arresting a person for disorderly conduct on their own property makes no sense when the conduct is in direct response to the unjustified presence of police. Crowley was probably just aggravated and chose to abuse his power to get back at Gates for his inappropriate and excessive racial tirade.

So what we have here is Henry Lewis Gates, Jr., a man with a ridiculous racial chip on his shoulder, and Sgt. James Crowley, a typical law enforcement bully who just loves to show who is boss. The whole situation is ridiculous. Gates should have not overreacted, and Crowley should have left the scene the second he realized no crime had been committed. Both parties were acting stupidly.

One would think that two people acting stupidly would be enough, but Chairman Obama just had to top them both and jump in the middle of the controversy. A wise politician would not get publicly involved in petty police actions, but Obama felt the need to voice his opinion in a live national primetime press conference by stating that the police "acted stupidly."

Even worse, after Barack Obama found out his words angered people, he began backtracking. On July 24, 2009, Obama attempted to distance himself from his own words. Obama said, "Because this has been ratcheting up and I helped contribute to ratcheting it up, I want to make clear that in my choice of words I unfortunately gave an impression that I was maligning the Cambridge Police Department or Sgt. Crowley specifically and I could have calibrated those words differently."

Essentially, Barack Obama is stating he meant what he said, he just wishes he would have said it differently. How are we supposed to take that? It is almost as if he wishes he had been more deceptive when he spoke out. Perhaps, Obama normally uses doublespeak when stating controversial opinions, but he forgot to do it on this item. Why does Obama not just speak his mind or keep his mouth shut. Why is Obama always telling us he did not mean to say something the way he said it? Obama either needs to learn how to speak his mind in a articulate but truthful way or learn how to just stay quiet. A man in his position cannot afford to constantly be making stupid statements and then spend days trying to revise his own words. That is not the way a true leader behaves.

Barack Obama Proves He Is out of Touch by Signing the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act

Let's see. Iran is in the middle of a violent upheaval which could alter the course of the Muslim world. The US economy is struggling to recover. The real estate crisis is approaching its darkest days. North Korea may test fire a missile which could reach US soil. Terrorist threats are everywhere. You might think Chairman Obama might have plenty to worry about, but he has chosen to spend his time attacking the tobacco industry by signing the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act. Even though most of us are aware that cigarettes have been associated with a variety of health risks, are we all really that worried about some tar and nicotine right now? When thinking about your personal safety and your ability to enjoy life, is placing further controls on tobacco among your major concerns?

Barack Obama Takes Himself Too Seriously

Extremely Rare Photo Captures Barack Obama Keeping a Campaign Promise As He Prepares to Count Every American for 2010 Census

Have you ever noticed that Barack Obama rarely smiles? Chairman Obama often has a dire expression on his face as if he is pondering some critical concept. Other times, he has this creepy pompous look as if he is absorbing the adoration of his subjects. Often, Obama wears a bitter and harsh look, especially as he speaks about people he does not like. Sometimes, Obama looks just plain annoyed. Regardless, Obama rarely has a smile on his face. When he does smile, he is normally mocking a statement or question from the press he would rather not answer. Sure, Obama will smile when he wants to act as if a person's concern is unwarranted or trivial, but how often do we really see the man with a genuinely happy expression on his face? What is wrong with this man? Why is he always so unpleasant? Is he a very sad person? Does he just take himself far too seriously? Is he trying to intimidate people?

Cheer up, Obama. You are not really that important to the survival of the human race, and life just is not that bad. Give us a genuine smile once in a while so we will not think you are a narcissistic sociopath.

Barack Obama Declares America Is One of World's Largest Muslim Countries

Toby Harnden of The Telegraph has an interesting article about Barack Hussein Obama's claim that--by population--the United States is one of the largest Muslim countries in the world. The reality is the United States probably does not even rank among the top thirty Muslim nations. Why is Chairman Obama so interested in lying to the world about America's Muslim credentials? Does he really not know the facts? Again, we have another case where do not know if Obama is ignorant or dishonest.

Barack Obama Bows to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia

Barack Obama has embarrassed America again. This time he bowed to King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz of Saudi Arabia at the 2009 G-20 summit. Click here to read about Obama's latest international gaffe.

The White House is denying the bow ever took place, but the video tells a different story. As recorded on video, Barack Obama clearly bent at the waist before King Abdullah. When Obama's body reached an angle of around 80 degrees, he paused for a moment and then stood erect. Regardless of what the White House claims, Obama absolutely did bow before King Abdullah. Of course, many in the Muslim world are enthralled with Obama's show of deference to a Muslim King.

Perhaps the next time Barack Obama finds himself in the presence of royalty, he should just skip the bow and show his respect with the gift of an iPod.
